</div></div>You probably need to do that in two steps:<br>
1) Make sure, that all numbers have the correct number of digits<br>
2) glue everything together<br>
<br>
<br>
1)<br>
Use [makefilename %02d] to create a two digit symbol (<- yeah, the<br>
output is a symbol!) with leading zeros from the incoming float.<br>
For the year you need [makefilename %04d] in order to create a<br>
four-digit symbol. You get the idea.<br>
<br>
2)<br>
Use [pack s s s s s s] to put everything into a single list message.<br>
Then you get rid of the spaces with a message box like this:<br>
[symbol $1$2$3$4$5$6(<br>
